Hey everyone, today I am sharing two projects using the current Peachy Keen Stamps July Release. This release is filled with tons of adorable nautical stamps. There are so many sentiments that pair perfectly with the nautical imagery.

For my first card, I created a simple beach scene using a few different stamps. I thought it would be fun to create a fish out of the mermaid tail, so I masked the eye and then stamped the fish body. I hand cut all the stamped elements and layered them on sand and glittery paper.

For my second card, I created a treasure hunting scene. The pirate turtle has successfully found the hidden treasure. I paired pattern paper with sand paper to create depth and texture. The "You're a Treasure" sentiment is a perfect pairing with this scene.

Peachy Keen is currently offering two deals, 15% off on products on the website and .99 cent shipping within the USA. You can also subscribe to the Stamp Club of The Month, and receive stamps monthly.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I hope you have a great day!

Today I am sharing a card inspired by the current Lawn Fawnatics Summertime Challenge! The happy pineapple couple, from the "Aloha" stamp set, are really enjoying their time on the beach! I stamped the sand mound, from the "Life's Good" stamp set, multiple times to create depth to the beach scene. I layered the pineapples on top of the sand, and then scattered shells around them. The "i Pine for you" sentiment is the perfect addition to this lovely beach couple.

Good morning! I hope you are ready for another exciting Lawn Fawnatics challenge! This challenge is to create a project using watercolor! My go to medium for cards is Copics, but I do love using watercolors to create a soft washy look. I created my background using two different colors, and then layered polka dots on top using a stencil with texture paste. Since summer is almost here, I just had to create a card with ice cream! I used the cute ice cream stamps from the "Here's the Scoop" stamp set!

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a clean and simple card that is inspired by the current Black/White & Bright Challenge! The sloth from the "Hang in There" stamp set was the perfect animal to hang off of the "Script Hello" die cut.

Good morning, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today I am sharing a baby shower card I created for the "Outstanding Occasions" Lawn Fawnatics challenge. I wanted to create a baby card using an unexpected subject matter. I paired the stroller from the "Plus One" stamp set with the t-rex from the "Critters from the Past" stamp set. The scale and proportion of both of the images was perfect. The baby dinosaur fits perfectly inside the stroller. The paper from the "Watercolor Wishes" petite paper pack creates a perfect backdrop for my prehistoric scene!

Birthday projects are always so much fun to do! I personally love to do them because it allows me to create fun birthday themed scenes. I created a fun pop-up box card for my birthday project. I used a variety of papers from the petite paper packs. The colors from the "Perfectly Plaid" and "Watercolor Wishes" coordinate perfectly together! Since cats love boxes so much, the cats from "Meow You Doin'" were perfect for my little scene. With their party hats on, these cats and their mouse friend are in full celebration mode!
